The catspaw assassin was a character in Game of Thrones. He is never named, but is referred to as such in the credits and script, a reference to a 'catspaw' being someone unwittingly used to further another person's agenda. He was played by Lalor Roddy and only appeared in one episode.
Season 1
The Kingsroad
Catpaw assassin's dagger
The catspaw assassin is paid to kill Bran Stark whilst he is in a coma in Winterfell, following his fall. The assassin arranges for a fire to start in the castle, reasoning this will draw people away from Bran's room. This diversion succeeds in persuading Robb Stark to leave the room, but Catelyn remains behind. When the assassin goes into Bran's room to kill him, he finds Catelyn there. They struggle and he injures Catelyn's hand, but is then attacked by Bran's direwolf, Summer, who tears his throat out.
The assassin carried an elaborate dagger with a dragonbone hilt and a Valyrian steel blade. Catelyn resolved to carry the blade to her husband in King's Landing to investigate further.
Lord Snow
Littlefinger identifies the blade as belonging to Tyrion Lannister, leading Eddard and Catelyn to conclude that the Lannisters ordered the assassin to kill Bran.
The Wolf and the Lion
Tyrion vehemently denies giving the blade to the assassin, pointing out that he'd be an imbecile to do so.
In the books
In the books the assassin is never named.
